From what I understand I am already at a deficit I am suppose to be at 2300 calories but I am only eating 1600. From what I have gathered from my trainer eating back those exercise calories will help me to build and maintain the muscle I am working so hard to get.

Eating right has been an issue for me. I love love love food and i love to cook it even more. When I made the decision to get healthier and eat better I started revamping recipes. I cut calories every where I could and it still tasted amazing. There are a lot of things that I started to make at home instead of buying. I…

You are doing great. I have a problem eating myself and I am almost always late for breakfast. You look great and I can see that even though you struggle with the eating portion you are making progress and that gives me hope that I can do better. Thank you for posting this you are a motivation to me. :flowerforyou:

When I put my information in MFP it says I should be eating 2250 a day. We started there but it was entirely too much food for me so we went to 1800 and then 1600.

It is amazing how a simple question can make people angry. I hope it doesn't happen here lol.

I am over weight. I am considered obese.

Your killing it!!! keep it uo :)

That is amazing and I needed to hear that thank you for sharing that with me.

UPDATE!!! I hurt my back this past week and was out of the gym the whole time. I had to weigh in anyway and when I did I lost 12 pounds. I couldn't believe it. I am hoping I didnt lose too much muscle but it was nice to see the weight loss. I am starting to see the weight loss when I look in the mirror too. I really needed…

Why did it get shut down??

I am trying not to focus on the numbers on my scale but me size. I am training for the police academy's physical tests and I really want to learn to lift. That is my focus and the weight is coming off with it.

I use a heart rate monitor when I am working out

My trainer threatened my life if I did not eat all mine back lol. does eating all the calories back make the progress slower?

Thank you all for your input. My trainer did reduce my intake to 1600 but I can go up to 1800 depending on my hunger. I got up this morning determine not to let the scale bother me and when I was getting ready to go to a training session I decided to dig out an old Adidas workout jacket I haven't been able to wear in 2…

Thank you all so much for your suggestions. She will never be able to use her right arm again unfortunately. I am defiantly going to try to get her in a pool and walking in a cool environment. Again thank you.

Thank you guys so much for your feed back. She is doing great with the nutrition part we are working on this together so we look out for each other. She is really concerned with the exercise part. She likes to push herself a little to hard at times and I am thinking if I can put together a safe routine for her each week…

I weigh everything I eat and we normally weigh in once a week. I guess I just figured because I was so big that I would see weight loss no matter what at least for a while. It was just a shock to see everything that was lost back on the scale. When I started weight watchers I wasn't working out though. The weight gain came…

I am so sorry wrong forum

It was the first workout video I had ever done. I did level one and 2 and I lost over 20 pounds it is a great starting point. After level one and two I got a little bored with it and started lifting weights. I have fallen off the wagon over the holidays and I will be doing the shred again to get me back into the swing of…

Armywife you are rockin my world girl you slapped that all together like a pro and those ideas were fantastic I think we got this. Now that our teams are merged would that make us a new cool color like Yellurple or Purllow :).

OK I did a breakfast scramble like I eat it things can be changed. 1 regular large egg- calories 70, carbs 0, Fat 9, Protein 6, Sodium 65 1 egg white- calories 40, Carbs 0 Fat,0 Protein 10, Sodium 55 1 tsp of butter- calories 51, Carbs 0, Fat 6, Protein 20, Sodium 1 1 turkey sausage patty -calories 50, carbs 1, fat 2,…

Lunch Tuna wraps 3 Lettuce Leaves 1TBS of Kraft olive Oil Mayo 2oz of Tuna or 1/4 cup diced white onion salt pepper Organic seasoning (Costco) For the whole meal it would be Calories 111, Carbs 4, Fat 5, Protien 14, Sodium 255, Potassium 140

THe great thing about lettuce wraps is you can stick what everr you want in it and not have all the calories and sodium found in a barrito I love Tuna lettuce wraps and its just canned tuna in water with mayo and what ever else you like in it I like onions a bit of brrown mustard and some cayan pepper with a little salt…

I personally like vegetarian meals some of the best food I have had was Vegen so please throw out some recipies if for nothing else for me:)

This is reallly tough for me because I am on a 2000 calorie a day diet. For breakfast some days I make a smoothie with vanilla yogurt, unsweetened soy milk 1 cup of fruit (my fav iis blueberry) and one scoop of Protein powder. Lunch is a large chef salad with meat cheese and eggs. OHHHH lunch for our menue could be lettuce…

I use AMP and as long as you use one scoop at a time it is low calorie and works great

walked about .5 miles did 45 squats with 50 pounds, 120 lunges with 20 pounds, 60 regular squats, and 90 step ups with 20 pounds of weights. 15 minutes of abs. 112 ounces of water

I have never done it but I hear it is really good for you. There is a lot of cardio in it so I would think you would get results. The thing about any fitness program is the resuults are really up to the individual doing it. The harder you work the better the results. I think you should give it a try. Good luck

I Want arms like ethe chick in the pink bikini

OK Hotties I am behind the qroup due to some personal issues but I am back on track. I cant do too many push ups but today is an arm day at the gym and I spend 90 min on weights and I walk two miles one to warm up and another to cool down. Oh and then there is the abs 20 min
